Howard Zinn has a good chapter on this in the _People's History_, which I
guess everybody has read.  Once again, there's usually no correlation
between ones level of education and privilege on the one hand and support
for the war of the moment, and when there is one it's a positive
correlation because of who does most of the bleeding.

And I do bleeve that's my limit for today.
